My Homelab is used, both as a lab, where I tinker and experiment, but it is also used to self-host sevices that I use in my everyday life, such as Home Assistant and Samba shares.

Setup

Networking

• Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra
• Unifi Switch Ultra PoE
• Unifi U6

My network is segmented into VLANs with strict firewall rules. Devices on the IoT network are not allowed to access devices on other VLANs as an example.

I own a Cloudflare domain that I use internally. All of the internal DNS records for my subdomains point to the IP of my Traefik instance, which then directs the request to the corresponding service.

subdomain.maindomain.net -> DNS -> Traefik -> Service

The Cloud Gateway runs a WireGuard VPN server so that I can securely access services remotely.

An overview of my homelab

Proxmox Server

Proxmox makes it easy to deploy containers and virtual machines for running services in my homelab.

I currently self-host

• Gitea
• Gitea-mirror (mirrors github respositories to my gitea instance)
• Traefik (for reverse proxy)
• Vaultwarden (Self-hosted bitwarden server)
• Home Assistant
• Ubuntu LXC with Samba shares

I run Proxmox on a Minisforum UN150P mini PC

• Intel N150
• 16GB RAM
• 512GB SSD
• 4TB External drive

Deployment

The Telmate/proxmox-provider makes it easy to use Terraform to deploy the containers (LXC) and virtual machines for my proxmox homelab.
